What do we think of his production in Jan/Feb, and where he will finish the year production wise? He's been a beast, turning it on in the 2nd half like usual, with PP1 time finally. He's been good on the road all year, and better at home lately. He has 2 pts so far tonight, and is on pace for 19 g and 48 pts, with tonight's game not being over yet.

I picked him late in the 1st round this year, and was disappointed by him early, but I have to say I've been happier with him lately. It's nice to be able to start 2 of Josi, Big Buff (who has also heated up) and Hamilton on any given night.

Since I traded Subban for Josi and a pick, it's actually been 2 more fantasy pts for Josi after he had a big night last night, through 12 games since the trade.

New team surge, or new role for the player? Can anyone comment? Deadline is tomorrow.

Considering offering up Shea Weber for Phaneuf in a kitchen-sink roto league, limited keeper.
Weber is usually a top 20 player in this format, and the positional disparity makes him that much more valuable. I would have a hard time keeping him after this down-season though.

He's looking alot more like his old days in Toronto, but it's only been a few games. Despite the sample size, can anyone who has watched any of those games comment?

Thanks in advance :P

Starting to look like Weber May get shut down. My season is pretty much lost this year. I?ve been offered a 1st (10-14 range) for Weber. My team is fringe in a deep league. Cut bait on the legend of Weber for a kid? Or stand my ground. Can?t decide.

D man points are worth 2, assists in 1 in my points only dynasty league.
Who do you like better moving forward? Is Werenski now relegated to PP2 minutes with the emergence of Seth Jones? Is Risto's poor season, thus far, a sign of things to come? How far away is Montour from the other two? Discuss...

And big thanks for any and all feedback!

Wondering what your thoughts are on Cam Fowler in a points only dynasty? I thought about trading for Fowler as a depth dman but after looking at his career stats I was surprised that his career high was 40 during his rookie season. I know he's only 26 and dmen tend to take longer to hit their prime... does he have another gear or will he continue to be a 35-40pt guy? After all he is used as the top point producing dman in anaheim, is montour going to steal his prime spot sooner then later?

Hey guys, just wondering where you all think Luke Schenn might wind up next season?

He has been dropped in the league in my signature and I'm looking to next year. I may grab him for hits and blocks and cross my fingers that he gets a cherry gig for his next contract.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Been offered Josi for my Benn. Not league in sig, but same scoring categories and format. We start 6 D a night and my current D are Krug, Risto, Muzzin, Faulk, Giordano, Martinez, Vlasic, Weber IR.

With phaneuf moving and karlsson?s long term future in doubt in Ottawa is Cabot something to invest in? He?s gonna hit the 40 games mark in my sig league so he would have to be rostered. Long term what?s everyone?s thoughts on him?

I am just looking at my leauge in my signature and I am thinking about targeting a D man for a keeper for next year.

For this one, I cited a lot of past player comparables, which I know some readers don't love. But I think at worst they're useful food for thought and often they're very eye-opening, like the one about no d-man in nearly 20 years who averaged 3.25+ SOG per game in 65+ games failing to ultimately hit 56+ points at least once in their career. Plus, when you're dealing with players who are still so young, their body of career work often doesn't lend itself to deep analysis.

Give the column a read and share your thoughts. Do you think Ekblad is a fantasy powder keg, ready to explode scoring-wise? Or is the fact that he failed to do anything great in his first four seasons enough to dissuade you, even despite his still young age? Can you picture Nurse being more than a Boychuk 2,0? Can he seize the Edmonton PP reins and turn into a Shea Weber or Dion Phaneuf? Let's hear your views.

Ryan Pulock just became available in free agency. Would you drop Dermott for him?

I know Erik Karlsson isn't resigning yet but if we assume that he would resign for around 12M$ per year for 8 years.
In a keeper cap league where only points and +/- count for defensemen and the cap ceiling follows the NHL cap ceiling, would you say he's worth keeping at that price or it would be better to trade him and get more for the money?
My league is wierd in the sense that +/- make up such an important factor in the point system, if a D does 3pts and is -3 one night, that would get him 0 fantasy points for the night; or 3pts +3 = 6FPs.

In that context, better trade Karlsson for another D or wait if he gets signed as a UFA for a better team that will make him a consistent positive +/- player and eat up his 12M$ cap hit then?
